In faulkner's the sound and the fury, the character quentin breaks a watch, given to him by his father, to escape from its ticking sound, which he finds intensely disturbing. which archetypal idea does quentin's watch likely symbolize?
the wasteful use of time
the fading memories of the past
the unstoppable passage of time
the unintended consequences of gifts

i think the answer is c, rivers.

explanation:

sometimes, borders fall along natural boundaries like rivers or mountain ranges. for example, the boundary between france and spain follows the crest of the pyrenees mountains. for part of its length, the boundary between the united states and mexico follows a river called the rio grande. the borders of four countries divide africa’s lake chad: niger, chad, cameroon, and nigeria.

which time period is this? or is this story fictional, i'm going to need more info to answer this question
